Our story is not unusual. In your 30s and 40s,
plenty of new people enter your life, through work, children’s play
dates and, of course, Facebook. But actual close friends — the kind you
make in college, the kind you call in a crisis — those are in shorter
supply.

As people approach midlife, the days of youthful exploration, when life
felt like one big blind date, are fading. Schedules compress, priorities
change and people often become pickier in what they want in their
friends.

No matter how many friends you make, a sense of fatalism can creep in:
the period for making B.F.F.’s, the way you did in your teens or early
20s, is pretty much over. It’s time to resign yourself to situational
friends: K.O.F.’s (kind of friends) — for now.

I would love to find a family law attorney in Colorado Spring, Co. My wife keeps pushing for this divorce but I know it's not the best. Even if does go through we need to do whats best for the children.
